Drawing with chalk is one of the simplest art activities for kids, yet I think it is an ever-lasting hit! We don't have to invent or browse for comlicated and new art activities all the time. Children are perfectly happy with the simplest things and with things they have already done, as well, maybe even more. So when ever I wonder, what could we do today, chalk is always a great solution!

Creativity is not only exploring new things, but also exploring old and familiar things in new ways. This is a reason why it is good to offer familiar materials and familiar art activities to your kids, again and again.

As an art educator I believe that art (specially open-ended art) is very important for kids. I also believe that kids need play almost as much as they need air. This is a space where I write about things that I make for my kids (ages 6 and 3) to play with, about things that I make and art activities that I do together with them.
